Thank you for visiting my webpage.
I'm a full-stack web developer recently graduated from the University of Miami's Division of Continuing & International Education Online Coding Bootcamp in June 2022. Prior to this bootcamp, I worked in sales of transmission and distribution equipment for a family-owned company for close to 7 years--mostly in Peru in South America (yes, I've tried and love ceviche). And before that, I worked as a process engineer for Intel Corporation in New Mexico and Oregon.
I embarked on this professional pivot for different reasons, but principally due to what I see as software eating the world, to borrow the words of Marc Andreessen. The knowledge I have gained and technologies I have learned over the last 6 months have made me more optimistic about the future and my place in it. If you care for my resume, you can download it here.
Here you can find my portfolio of projects which I've authored individually or in partnership with a team of people.

and tables
✔️ Creates and drops databases and tables
✔️ Uses CRUD methods to interact with persistent data
